Q: Does a felony level matter based level on when you received it? How much to seal records?
I was arrested for motor vehicle left/agg 1 under $ in 2002. I would like to get my record sealed but they say you can’t seal Felony 3 sealed. I’m not sure of the level. Also poss CONTROLLED SUBST-POSSESS SCH 2-1G .from 2005 this charge is the last on my record the others are misdemeanors driving under restraint, shop lifting, failure to appear. I know I qualify based on time and since I have no other criminal activity of any type except 2 traffic tickets in 17 years. I would like to proceed with sealing my records
A: There have been a lot of recent and favorable changes in Colorado's sealing laws. The best way to determine if you're eligible to seal a conviction would be to research attorneys who handle sealing and call for a consultation. Having a copy of your record or other court documents with the official final disposition (including the specific charge of conviction) and dates of conviction and completion of any sentence will be helpful for someone to be able to at least give you an initial opinion if you appear eligible for sealing and estimate the cost to file the petition.
